In the culinary world, innovation is pushing chefs and experimenters to explore new frontiers of taste. Pinsa, traditionally associated with savoury variants (just like pizza), is becoming an increasingly interesting and popular sweet dish. It is certainly worth trying.
Why prefer a sweet pinsa to a cake or biscuits?
When it comes to satisfying the desire for sweetness, Italian tradition has always offered us a wide choice of cakes, biscuits and soft puddings. Why should we prefer a sweet pinsa? The answer lies in its uniqueness.
Contrasting textures
The sweet pinsa combines the crunchiness of the base with the softness and creaminess of the toppings. This contrast of textures makes every bite an explosion of flavour. Above all, it can be a rare culinary experience, and for that reason, a very fascinating one. Moreover, sweet pinsa allows anyone to experiment with an infinite variety of flavour combinations.
Lightness and balance
One advantage of sweet pinsa is its lightness. Compared to traditional cakes and desserts, sweet pinsa is more balanced, appealing but not heavy: it is therefore also perfect as part of a diet, perhaps in combination with seasonal fruit. Above all, it is ideal for those who do not want to feel guilty.
Originality
Sweet pinsa breaks the monotony of traditional desserts. Its presence in a buffet or as a dessert in a restaurant adds a touch of originality and surprise that catches everyone’s attention. People love innovation: tarts and apple pies will never die, but they can certainly give way to something more modern and innovative.
A dessert to share
Pinsa is a dessert to share. Its oval shape and individual portions make it perfect to be enjoyed in company, making every convivial moment an extraordinary experience.
Five minutes to prepare it
One of the tastiest and most popular sweet pinsa is the one with Nutella. Its preparation is so quick that it can be made to suit the needs of the moment in just five minutes, starting with the pre-cooked pinsa base. If you decide to welcome friends home, you can be sure to offer them a tasty and easily digestible option.

For the lovers of sweet-and-sour, this sweet pinsa is especially striking for its freshness. The sweetness is provided by the layer of crunchy meringue, which also emphasises the crunchiness of the pinsa, while the lemon-flavoured sugar gives a hint of acidity that is the dish’s signature element.
Apple and Cinnamon Pinsa
A rustic and comforting dessert. The pinsa is the perfect base to place the thin slices of apple, while the cinnamon powder and brown sugar provide a spicy touch that complements the sweetness of the apples. To complete the recipe, consider adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
